Over the past eight years, I've met some neat people and heard interesting stories as to what our hardware is being used on. No one stands out as much as Mr. Fulton and his amazing chests. Each one is crafted by hand with the utmost attention to detail. He sands each piece by hand, starting with 100 grit and working up to 300 grit, after the sanding, six coats of polyurethane are applied (again by hand) and sanded with 400 grit in between coats. I can't imagine how much time is involved in just the sanding process alone.

Mr. Fulton is not just a Treasure Chest maker; he's a craftsman, and artisan. Just by looking at his pictures you can tell each piece is made with great care and pride. Every chest is even numbered, dated, and documented so that they will not be duplicated. These chests are crafted to last a lifetime; whether it's holding your life's memories, or storage for your children's keepsakes, or a chest for your family heirlooms. Every one of us has "our story" just as every one of his chests has its own story.

Authentic Craftmanship uses the NSD-20 by Sugatsune for his chests. You can see the soft close motion in his video.
